Bold Hotel and Mikhail Hotels owner Andrew Mikhail said: “We are bringing Southport back to life in the ‘Northern Quarter’. At this end of Lord Street, we are trying to appeal to the over 25s market and think that with the other bars around us, we have the perfect place for people to spend an evening.”

A few doors away from the Bold Hotel is Corridor Bar and Eatery, which opened last Friday night.

Owner Victoria Hughes said: “Having looked at various locations for the style of bar we wanted to open we felt the northern quarter of Lord Street had the most to offer.

“It has a very up and coming vibe, which hasn’t been seen in Southport for a long time. We are really thrilled to be starting our business in this area, surrounded by other great bars and restaurants, which all have a unique feel and individuality.

“We feel this is truly a renaissance for nightlife in Southport, we are just a week open and the feedback from customers is great. People are really enjoying the variety of venues at this end of Lord Street.”

Also near the Bold Street is Peaky Blinders, names in honour of the popular television series, which has attracted a huge fanbase since it opened last year.

According to co-owner Rob Swire, calling in to enjoy a drink in Peaky Blinders - or one of the other great venues at the north end of Lord Street - is an offer you just can’t refuse.

He said: “The Northern Quarter is under new management - by order of the Peaky Blinders!”

Here are the bars leading the Northern Quarter revolution:
